This one is for you Chelle....(my trips to NYC and SFO)

Ok update on my life....

So last week, I got the opportunity to go to NYC and San Francisco within one week. I have never done the coast to coast thing, but it was so much fun. Other than I had the worse luck with flying.

So REV'IT the motorcycle clothing company flew the Parts Manager Chad and I out to New York City. We flew out Tuesday morning, and as we were sitting in our seats, they announced that everyone has to de-board the plane cause Denver has grounded all flights due to weather. Chad and I were ok with that, cause we had a 4 hour layover. So that means that we have a 3 hour layover rather than a 4 hour. So an hour later we boarded our flight and it was the most bumpy flight I have ever been on. Even the flight attendant was really nervous when she made the announcement "the pilot has informed me to inform you that it is going to be this bumpy until we hit the ground (paused...everyone is laughing on the plane)...and I mean until we land." Then when we did land in Denver that flight attendant was M.I.A. ha ha they must have pulled her off to the side and gave her a little talk. So after we took off in Denver and on our way to NYC, we ended up having to do a hold on the plane (which means make circles till we have the clearance to land). So we were holding for about 30 mins and when we landed the airport was crazy busy. Even our driver (we had a car service) said he hadn't seen the airport as busy as it was that night. Good thing we only did carry on's and didn't check any bags.
So after we landed in NYC, the only thing I wanted to do that night was go get a famous NYC piece of pizza. So we did that, and not only did we do that, I found out that the place where we got pizza at was right next to the Empire State Building!!! So that was really cool.

The next day we spent the whole day at REV'IT, and in case you didn't see it on Facebook their office is in a great place. You can see the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Statan Island, Manhattan, and Brooklyn. It was amazing view. So we spent the day learning about new motorcycle gear. Then later that night they took us to dinner and a great little bakery. You know how I love my baked items. :) I was going to go to Times Square but I got too tired and just wanted to go to bed. But they did make we take the Subway, and that was pretty cool. ha ha
The next day was the flight home. They delayed our flight out, which means when we landed in Arionza, we were running to make our flight to Salt Lake. It was crazy, we got there just in the nick of time.

Then I was home just enough to go to work on Friday and Saturday. But on Saturday I left work an hour early to go get on a plane to San Fran.

My flight to San Fran. lucky enough had no problems other than it landed early but that was no problem really. It just means I had to wait a little bit longer for Mikey to come and pick me up.
Once Evan and him picked me, we went to our hotel which was the Ritz Carlton (fancy dancy). Then we meet up with some more people and went out to a great Thai resturant. Then after that, Evan, Mike, and I went back to the hotel to get ready for the Halloween party that we planned to go to. Mike and I dressed up as Zombies cause it was easy and we didn't have to worry about much to the costume. Evan dressed up as a doctor, cause that is what he is...so he didn't really have to dress up much either. It was nice for all of us.

Then we headed to the club, and danced our butts off till I believe 5 in the morning!! It was so much fun. I can not even tell you the words as to how much fun it was, but it for sure had to be the best time I have ever had in my life (up to date). Mikey really knows how to pick a great place to go dance :) Then after we left the club, we went back to the hotel room and chilled out till about 6:30 in the morning. Then we went to bed and didn't wake up till about 3:00 in the afternoon. Then Evan, Brooklyn, Michael, and I went to breakfast. I had the best pancakes I have ever had. mmmmm. Then Brooklyn, Michael, and I all went swimming. Then the 3 of us went out to dinner for some authentic Itailian. It was so good as well. Afterwards, we just went to bed, cause we had an early morning flight. So at 3:30 am Michael and I woke up and went to the airport only to find out that our flight was canceled after we boarded the plane. So Mikey being the VIP of Delta that he is, called and got us directly on the next flight out of San Fran. So other than our flight out the weekend was completely wonderfully amazing!!!

Ok so I better get back to work...but that the update on me. :) Now back to work.

This weekend....

So this weekend is going to be a busy one for me.

Saturday...at work we are having a big open house for the new Triumph Sprint GT, which I am in charge of so I am going to be crazy busy tomorrow.

Sunday...I get to go watch people go run circles around Miller...not really just people either...I get to go watch Mikey around a track on a HOT Daytona 675. I will admit I am a little jealous that he is riding a fully prep race Daytona. Maybe one day he will let me ride his race bike around Miller. hint hint

Monday....which is part of my weekend cause I work Tuesday through Saturday...Monday I will be hanging out with my great friend Tiecen and her daughter. She is moving to Vegas within the next week...so I want to be able to hang out with her before she leaves.

So if you couldn't guess I am pretty excited for this weekend....well mainly Sunday and Monday...Saturday...not so much. :)

Updates

Ok so here is what is going on lately.....

So my job has been black and white...some days are really busy and some days are slow, but overall it is really good. It is fun to work for a motorcycle dealership. It is fun when you get a customer that follows racing and then the salesman comes over and says..."you need to talk to her" So we end up talking about racers and racing that is going on. I say this cause this just happened. I think I really impressed him. ha ha

My new place is awesome. I love how close I am to work now....it is so nice that I get to sleep in an extra 15 or 20 mins. ha ha Altough it seems lately I have been waking up every morning at 6. No matter what time I go to bed I seem to be wide awake around 6...sucks. :( I am not getting my beauty rest...Mikey (that one is for you Warren) is not going to find me beautiful anymore if this keeps up. ha ha

Speaking of the devil....Mike invited me to do another ART class at Miller on the 26th of Sept...and it was so good to be out there again. It made me realize that I do want to hopefully start racing one day, but I want to be smart about it. I will take all the classes I can and learn everything that there is to be taught and once I feel comfortable, then think about put the money down for race bike. Mike is amazing though...he really knows how to make this girl happy...and inviting me to the ART classes is for sure one of those things that makes me happy.

Off the subject...I need a neck and back rub...any volunteers? ha ha

Update

So the last week I have been moving out of my house and putting everything into storage, cause we are having the renters move in next Friday. This morning I started moving out of my apartment and I will be moving that stuff in my new place....which I am very excited about. But it feels like the only thing that I have been doing since Monday is moving....and it isn't going to stop untill next Friday. Next Friday my renters will be moving into my house, and I will be officially moving into my new place.

My new place is going to be nice. I have a really nice size room, I will be sharing a bathroom...but that is fine..and most important I will have a place to park my motorcycle in the wintertime. It is nice when your roommates are also motorcycle people too, cause then you know that your bike will be just fine.

So I am so much looking forward to the weekend. The ART class that I took at Miller the first of Aug is happening again on Sunday, and who has two thumbs and will be going to be to it.....this girl. :) I love learning anything and everything their is know about motorcycle riding. I really want to learn more about riding on the track...in hopes one day I will be able to get the gutts and actually race. Maybe towards the end of next summer or something. Who knows. :) So I am looking forward to the weekend very much.

I am here I promise....

I am sorry I haven't posted anything in a while...I have been really busy trying to find a place to live...which I found somewhere...wahooo..... and I have been really busy with my new job at the motorcycle dealership. Really those are pretty lame excuses cause I could just take 5 mins and write something on here...but I really do think that not a lot of people follow it anymore since I have been gone for a while. Oh well....

Things are getting better...of course there are some moments that aren't so good...but they are for sure getting better and better as the days go by. I am just doing my best to surround myself around the people that make me feel good about myself, and keep a positive outlook on life. I am not looking forward to moving. I love my house...it was a great house...but I am glad that Dallas and Tiffany are renting out for us so we are not having to pay for all of the mortgage. They are going to be helping us out so much. I appreciate them for doing it.

Did I tell you that I went on amazing motorcycle trip last weekend? I went with the Canyonchasers.net and it was so fun....no one crashed....no one got hurt. We hit every amazing twisted canyon to Wolf Creek down to Torrey down to Bryce Canyon. We even went through Escalante...which as you know that is where my dad and mom's side of the family is from. I haven't been back there in over 8 years. It was so great to be back....we rode right by the Henryville Cemetery and I blew a kiss to my Grandma and Grandpa. Well the trip was incredible, the food was amazing, and the company was even better. We rode 1100 miles in 3 days....correction 1100 twisting miles in 3 days.

Anywho.....I am off to bed....exhausted. Have a good night.

My first track day at Miller....

So yesterday didn't start out so hot...it was raining cats and dogs and I was a little worried that the track day I had planned was not going to turn out so well. I ended up going into work for a couple of hours....hung out in my wet leathers..then I headed out for the track. By the time I got to the track the rain stopped and the sun started to shine..then by the time lunch was done and over with..it was a beautiful day!! I asked my friend Mike to come to the track day..normally he doesn't pay for track days cause he is an A.R.T. instructor...but he gladly said he would come and show me how to be smooth on the track. It was BRILLANT!! He showed me how to hit the apexes, where my body should be, when and were I should speed up and slow down, and finally...how to properly put my knee down. All of it was so amazing! He told me that I did a great job...and I said thanks but I still have a lot to learn. Because I do. Just cause I went out to the track..doesn't make me an expert...I still have and I still want to learn so much. I want to learn as much as they will let me. I also got to ride two up with Shorty from the Yamaha racing school..that was mind blowing as well...and super crazy fast. He also took the time to show me a trick or two about the track as well. :) Thanks guys for all of your help.

It has been a while but I am back....

Sorry that I haven't posted anything in a while...but in case you didn't know there is a lot going on in my life right now. I got a new car cause I have been seperated from my husband and I wanted a lower car payment. So I got the car I wanted in the first place...a Ford Fusion. It is fun.. I love my car. :) Also Ant and I have decided that we are going to get divorced cause we want to make sure we end this not mad or hating at each other....and end this as adults. We are moving forward so that we can move on. So that means we are putting our house up for sale if anyone is interested. Also...I have put in my two weeks notice at my job and now I will be working up at BWM/Triumph motorcycles of Salt Lake as of Sept 4th. I will be the Events and Marketing person. It will be hard and busy but I will enjoy it cause I get to talk and be around motorcycles all day. :) I will be working Tuesday-Saturday. It will be nice to have Mondays off work.

So with all of the sudden changes in my life...I am doing my best to stay positive and keep my head above water. It was nice yesterday morning....cause I had the best calming feeling..and ever since then I feel good about things. :)
